Can it even diverge though? The kernel code is GPL so I don't think Google can close it down even if they wanted.

Yes it definitely can diverge while still staying open source. Happens in the Linux kernel for example whenever the ABI changes.
Unless they invent kernel as a service or undertake a remarkably ambitious AI license laundering project, I think you're right.
